News, observations and reader questions about the Sacramento Kings and the NBA.

Brad Miller was added to the injury list today, joining teammates Kevin Martin, Francisco Garcia and Quincy Douby. Miller has a sore right foot and is listed as day-to-day. Martin is listed as probable with the left ankle sprain that nearly kept him out of Friday's 121-109 win against the Timberwolves. Douby (sore right ankle) and Garcia (strained right calf) both remain out of action.
Martin said his injury remains sore, but he credited it with his 26-point performance against Minnesota.
"I think when you are injured you are more focused," Martin said. "We can say it's because of that. We played great as a team so that made my job easy."
Martin said he worked on drills Saturday to strengthen his ankle and legs. For some reason, his explanation on why this was important became funnier after I transcribed it.
"I'm not a doctor, but every muscle is connected to another muscle, so we are trying to work it all," Martin said.
And to finish off this post, I'll leave you with Martin's reaction to Miller's injury.
"Just another injury," Martin said. "We're used to it though."
